But if you can share that would be great ta.the company that is managing the properties at present has I believe a conflict of interest with their management team and their construction side of the company.

Before I really dive into the waters I really feel as if I need to have a firm grasp on the construction aspect of this business.

I do not have a construction background and do not have any ideal how mush a certain job (say a kitchen gut) would cost.

Any constructive criticism or thoughts on any of this is MUCH appreciated.

A couple of months ago I made the decision that this is the field I want to construct my future on.

I am also seeing construction everywhere!

I expect a slight rate increase mainly in properties with a good central local.My assumptions are supported by new construction project starts.

If one of my employees, when I was a manager, messed up, and they did, I didn't even get upset, I would just send them home as "punishment". [ note that I did not dictate their salary at the time, the corporation did. and I felt they obviously needed that little paycheck, and did not get terribly upset for their mistakes ]The point was that the banks, while a payment from a different source might be considered a constructive notice, have put in place systems [ computer / minimum wage worker ] that intentionally ignore it anyway.

I might just have to go back into the construction business full time.

The second house is under construction, the third went to permitting today and the fourth is in the planning stage.
